Inventor: ZHANG EDWARD
IPC: G01N29/06
Filed: 2014-06-23
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for performing photoacoustic tomography with respect to a sample that receives a pulse of excitation electromagnetic radiation and generates an acoustic field in response to said pulse. One embodiment provides an apparatus comprising an acoustically sensitive surface, wherein the acoustic field generated in response to said pulse is incident upon said acoustically sensitive surface to form a signal. The apparatus further comprises a source for directing an interrogation beam of electromagnetic radiation onto said acoustically sensitive surface so as to be modulated by the signal; means for applying a sensitivity pattern to the interrogation beam; and a read-out system for receiving the interrogation beam from the acoustically sensitive surface and for determining a value representing a spatial integral of the signal across the acoustically sensitive surface, wherein said spatial integral is weighted by the applied sensitivity pattern. The apparatus is configured to apply a sequence of sensitivity patterns to the interrogation beam and to determine a respective sequence of values for said weighted spatial integral for generating a photoacoustic image.

Abstract: Manganese coordination complexes with utility as magnetic resonance probes and as biological reductant sensors are disclosed. In one embodiment, ligands can stabilize both the Mn 2+  and Mn 3+  oxidation states. In the presence of a reductant such as glutathione, low relaxivity Mn III -HBET is rapidly converted to high relaxivity Mn II -HBET with a 3-fold increase in relaxivity, and concomitant increase in magnetic resonance signal. In another embodiment, ligands were designed to chelate Mn(ll) in a thermodynamically stable and kinetically inert fashion while allowing for direct interaction of Mn(ll) with water. In yet another embodiment, high molecular weight multimers containing six Mn(ll) chelators were prepared. The high molecular weight results in slower tumbling of the molecules in solution and can strongly enhance the Mn(ll) relaxivity.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward global medical data analysis methods, systems, and computer program products for analyzing, classifying, and matching mass amounts of medical information from many sources and across different regions. The global medical data analysis system includes a medical main server that contains an intelligent medical engine, which is communicatively coupled to a central database, a confidential electronic medical records database, and further communicatively coupled through a network to hospitals, clinics, and other medical sources. The intelligent medical engine receives voluminous medical record, potentially from different countries, regions, and continents. Electronic Medical records are sourced from hospitals, clinics, and other medical sources, which are fed into the intelligent medical engine for large-scale analysis and correlation of patients' medical records globally. The analysis starts by degrouping (classifying) medical records into multiple levels of subgroups according to patient clinical parameters, disease templates, treatments and outcomes. When a new patient enters the system, that patient's parameters and disease template are matched against the closest subgroups to suggest treatments with potentially favorable outcomes.
